The AMNH will exhibit specimens from its extensive paleontology collection.

These dozens of sauropod fossil bones will be on view, along with elements of the very first dinosaur fossil collected by the Museum 120 years ago. Most of these fossils are from the Museum’s legendary Big Bone Room, where fossils of sauropods and other large dinosaurs are stored on open shelving.

In addition to the Diplodocus longus pelvis and femur, fossils going on view include over thirty sauropod vertebrae, representing several different species from the late Jurassic Period (about 150 million years ago) and from several parts of the body, including neck, back, and tail; and a neck and skull from a juvenile Kaatedocus siberi.

An accompanying slideshow will feature photographs from Museum expeditions from the 1890s to the present day, spanning field sites from the American West to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.
